Friends and Neighbors,

This is a reminder that the Ward 1 NPA resumes on the second Wednesday of each month, so the next meeting is this Wednesday, September 13th. Please join us at the Friends Meeting House at 173 North Prospect St or over Zoom (link below). The meeting starts at 7PM, but come early to have a bite to eat. There will be food, conversation, and community. If you have never been to an NPA, we welcome you! If you are a regular or occasional attendee, we look forward to seeing you again.

Speakout offers time for anyone to talk about anything of concern to them about Ward 1 or the City. We will also hear from our elected officials, and we plan extended time for folks to talk about what they want our NPA to do and to be in the coming year. Also on the agenda, City Councilor Zoraya Hightower will provide perspective and context around public safety - before we can understand solutions, we need to understand the problem.

We look forward to your participation!
